11 August 2025 | Tennis NT

Tennis legend Evonne Goolagong Cawley with her Evonne Goolagong Foundation has again worked with Tennis Australia and Tennis NT to make the National Indigenous Tennis Carnival “NITC” a unique sporting event in Australia and globally.

One of the things that makes this event really special is that is brings together tennis at 3 levels:

  • beginners & intermediate players in the team-based Hot Shots stream;
  • emerging players in the team-based Future Stars stream; 
  • the top First Nations players nationally, Showdown stream.
